A
BUS TO TRANSPORT OUR CHILDREN

We
have two pick-up trucks that have served us well
these past few years (though we constantly repair them). One of
them is usually not broken down and serves as a vehicle to transport
our children to school. Since they have a break between
noon and 3 pm, the car goes back and forth four times per day -
and we have our kids in different schools. We put the little ones
inside, and the older ones on the back of the truck. Needless to
say, as we add more kids, this becomes more and more difficult space-wise,
plus it's pretty dangerous. A while back one of the children
fell off the back of the truck.

We
realized that we really need to get a bus to transport the children
safely, and to be able to all go somewhere together, and transport
more children at the time to school.

The
Lord led us to the owner of the above-pictured bus - which is what
is used for public transportation here, and it's actually still
in use. Several people are interested in buying this bus, but we
have favor with the owner, and he is offering it
to us for a better price than what the other potentional buyers
would pay.

This
Mercedes bus is 18 years old, and the owner is
asking for $11,000. That means we need another
$8,500 to
be able to purchase it, and as quickly as possible
as he's not going to hold the bus for us forever.

So
pray with us for a financial miracle, or even participate
in the miracle! If you can do so, add "bus" when you send
your donation.
